From lentigo to Becker's nevus, precise treatment with Repot Laser – Gwangju Mi Clinic
“I had my dark spots removed with a laser, but they came back,” or “After a procedure for age spots, I was left with marks instead.” These are stories you have likely heard at least once if you have undergone pigmentation treatment. Although pigmented conditions such as lentigo, age spots, lentigo clusters, milk spots, and Becker’s nevus may look similar on the surface, they differ significantly in their causes, depth, and the energy ranges they respond to. While grouped under the same name of "pigmentation treatment," they are actually conditions that require completely different approaches. Based on extensive experience treating numerous intractable pigmented conditions, Gwangju Mi Clinic specializes in precision pigmentation treatment using the RePot Laser.

Gwangju Mi Clinic's Repot Laser Treatment Know-how
Gwangju Mi Clinic does not treat lesions uniformly.
- precise differential diagnosisWe establish a treatment strategy after accurately distinguishing between lentigo, age spots, and pigmented nevi, even for lesions that appear similar to the naked eye. If necessary, we design the specific procedure tailored to each lesion.
- Energy subdivision by lesionFor dense lesions like lentigines, energy and pulses are applied differently to each area to produce uniform results. The key is to avoid treating a large area all at once with a single setting.
- Management of recurrence and side effectsWe apply a pre- and post-procedure care protocol considering the history of hyperpigmentation and skin responsiveness, and treat in stages while monitoring the lesion's response rather than attempting to remove it all at once. This is important for lowering the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or vitiligo.
- Know-how on intractable lesionsBased on accumulated clinical experience, we present realistic improvement goals and treatment plans even for cases that are difficult to diagnose and approach, such as milk spots and Becker's nevus. Rather than expecting excessive expectations, we first guide you through a realistic treatment roadmap tailored to the characteristics of the lesion.
This is a treatment necessary for such people.
- If the condition has recurred or was ineffective after a procedure at another hospital
- If you are concerned about uneven results due to widely spread dark spots across your face
- Cases where you have felt the limitations of a simple laser due to thick and raised age spots
- If you have lesions that are difficult to diagnose, such as milk spots or Becker's nevus
- Cases where you could not get a clear answer even after visiting several hospitals
What is more important than equipment is 'who and how'.
The Repot laser itself is a piece of equipment found in many clinics. However, even with the same equipment, results vary significantly depending on how the lesion is identified, how precisely the energy is controlled, and how recurrence and side effects are managed. In particular, for refractory pigmentation such as age spots, lentigines, milk spots, and Becker's nevus, there are clear limitations to relying solely on standardized settings, and it is no exaggeration to say that the operator's judgment and experience determine the majority of the outcome.
Based on extensive clinical experience treating various intractable pigmentation cases and expertise in operating the Repot laser, Gwangju Mi Clinic provides precise treatment tailored to each individual lesion. If you are concerned about old lentigines, recurrent age spots, or difficult-to-diagnose pigmentation disorders, we recommend that you receive an accurate diagnosis first rather than relying on self-diagnosis or internet information.
